Arizona tennis betting

What to focus on when tennis betting in Arizona

Like any sport, there are specific statistics and details to pay close attention to when placing bets. You should round out your perception of a situation, but things like ace statistics for a player or the type of court can heavily influence your decision.

Aces and advantages

Tennis players with a great serve will almost always have the advantage, and finding a player with a large number of aces is a decent indicator of this.

If a player has a lower ace count they are not out of the running, but you should look at any other advantages they have before putting money on them. Make sure you round out your assessment of a player’s ace count with other statistics and assessments.

Breaks and advantages

Another statistic that can indicate a strong player is the number of breaks they have. This number directly combats aces. Higher breaks can negate the advantage of high aces, but lower than average breaks can catalyze those strong serves.

In some cases, you will find a player who has a high count in both areas. You can expect more from these players, but it can be difficult to wager on matches where both players have high counts.

Some other factors to pay attention to with strong player matches involve any head-to-head performances they have had before and conditions that affect performance, such as weather or court surfaces.

Recent form of players

Tennis players are not constantly performing. Taking a break is common, and often necessary, for tennis players. Understanding how these breaks affect player performance is necessary for accurate tennis betting.

Players will either come out of a break rested or fall into a small pit of poor playing; it is rare for someone to fall in between. You need to pay attention to how breaks usually affect players, as well as additional information like:

• Any injuries that caused the break
• How long they were out
• Whether the break was adequate to address issues

Betting on a player right out of a break can be difficult, so unless you know how it affects them you may want to forego that match.

Head to head records

If you are looking at a match where two players have gone head to head before then you have an advantage, especially if they have done this multiple times. Looking at the outcome (along with other factors) can lead you to a likely outcome.

Keep in mind that oddsmakers know these things as well. These lines may not be as valuable as those on new matchups or new players.

Court surface types

Tennis courts come in a variety of surfaces, including:

• Grass courts
• Clay courts
• Synthetic hard courts
• Acrylic hard courts
• Carpeted courts

These easily change how players perform, and understanding how players interact with different court types gives you insight into how a match will go.

For example, players who serve heavily do better on hard courts because they catalyze those intense serves. Those they volley perform better on softer courts like grass.

Court types can be especially useful in close head-to-head matches. This might be the determining factor in many of your bets.
